Organic Japanese Matcha Hikari tea is the finest quality Green Tea powder used in traditional preparation of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Hikari means 'light' reflecting the bright green colour of the tea. It has a full flavoured aroma, with a fruity touch giving you a full rounded tea which is mild, slightly tart, smooth, sweet and pleasant.
Matcha is created by stripping all the fine stems and veins from the whole leaves before drying, then carefully grinding with granite mill wheels. This creates a very fine pwder which completely dissolves when well whisked, meaning the whole leaf is consumed. The end result is a high level of antioxidants and nutrients.
Here's how to create your own Tea Ceremony:-
- put one level teaspoon of Matcha powder in a warmed bowl
- add freshly pre-boiled water (ideally at 80°c - 90°c)
- froth using a bamboo whisk
- once fine foam appears on the surface, the tea is ready to be enjoyed
Matcha hikari, green tea powder can also be used in cooking - try it in Green Tea Ice Cream for a lovely refreshing and healthy treat.
Matcha is said to have many health benefits, these include:-
- Lowers Cholesterol
- Elevates Mood
- Boosts metabolism
- Helps fight against heart disease
